Mass Effect Month: Day 26 – Vacation

Mass Effect Month, Day 26: Where in the Mass Effect universe would you most like to visit?

Thessia.

I mean, we don’t spend a whole lot of time there, but it’s just so beautiful.

There’s also something about being able to spend time with one of the most cultured and intelligent species in the galaxy that intrigues me, as well. Sure, they have their problems, and there is a slight chance that their breeding is slightly parasitic in nature, but I remember loving how the planet looked when Shepard visited it in Mass Effect 3.

Although, part of me would want to visit Illium, in the same sort of hesitantly curious way I want to go to Las Vegas. I’d probably be immediately overwhelmed, but it would definitely be an experience to write home about!

…or, you know, maybe hang out at the arcade on the Citadel and see if I can run into Samantha Traynor. I hear she’s the woman to beat for Kepesh Yakshi.

What about you? Where are your top places to visit in the Mass Effect universe? Let me know in the comments!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there that one vacation home you could get in Mass Effect 1 by kicking all the combat simulator ass? I don’t recall it as being a particularly great vacation spot, but would be something to consider, at least.

Was there? If you’re talking about the Pinnacle Station stuff, I don’t think that ported to the PS3 version, so I never played it. I just looked it up, though, and that’s pretty neat that Shepard could get an apartment!!

I’ve talked about this before but I’d 100% live on the Citadel even though it gets destroyed…twice right? I usually don’t like big cities, and you could consider it a gigantic galactic one, but there’s just something amazing about living in a gigantic metropolis floating in space. I’d have to go with Thessia, too in terms of planets, though there was that one garden like world. It wasn’t home to any of the species and only part of some mission, but it was really pretty. I wish I could remember the name.
